« La première partie du livre (“La religion de Platon”) a été écrite pour servir d’introduction à la pensée platonicienne, la deuxième partie n’a pas, directement du moins, pour objet la pensée contemporaine, mais seulement les rapports établis par celle-ci, lors des diverses “querelles" avec le platonisme... Le platonisme est bien envisagé en lui-même, alors que la pensée contemporaine ne l’est qu’à partir des points où elle se définit contre lui. » Victor Goldschmidt, voici trente ans, présentait ainsi son livre. Les philosophes qu’il jugeait être ses contemporains sont encore, pour une grande part, les nôtres, et les analyses qu’il offre de leur rapport à Platon valent inactuellement pour leur acuité critique et l’étendue de la perspective philosophique. Sa conception du platonisme constitue une étape importante dans l’histoire de l’interprétation de Platon, et elle a contraint ceux qui ont suivi à se déterminer par rapport à elle.

Françoise Frazier's Quelques aspects du platonisme de Plutarque: Philosopher en commun, Tourner sa pensée vers Dieu includes 20 essays on several philosophical tractates in Plutarch's Moralia. Interesting both for Classists and Historians of Religion alike, the chapters provide an in-depth interpretation of several essential aspects of Plutarch's philosophical dialogues that pays special heed both to the divine and the communication between God and humans. The book includes three sections. While the first is mainly concerned with Plutarch's Amatorius, the second focuses on Plutarch's relationship to Plato, especially in his myths of the afterlife. The third part, finally, deals with an important investigation that occupied Professor Frazier lately, namely the concept of pistis in the religious context of the first centuries CE.

Au vu des nombreuses tentatives de « renversement » ou de « dépassement » du platonisme que l’on rencontre dans la philosophie contemporaine, il semble de prime abord que la pensée de Platon, souvent réduite à quelques schémas scolaires, y a essentiellement joué un rôle de repoussoir. Un examen plus approfondi révèle pourtant que nombre de philosophes majeurs de la période contemporaine se sont au contraire confrontés en profondeur à la philosophie de Platon, au point que l’interprétation de celle-ci a revêtu pour eux le caractère d’un geste philosophique à part entière et a parfois joué un rôle décisif dans la constitution de leur propre pensée. Le présent ouvrage se propose d’explorer ce versant « positif » de la réception de Platon, beaucoup moins étudié que son versant « négatif ». Par là, il espère contribuer à défaire les traits de la caricature et à rendre au visage de Platon un teint, des couleurs et une mobilité qui inspirent le sentiment de la vie, celle-là même qui habite les Dialogues qu’il nous a laissés – tout en montrant comment l’histoire de la philosophie, et singulièrement de la philosophie ancienne, peut avoir une portée philosophique par elle-même et agir à chaque époque de sa réception.

La philosophie de Plotin se situe à la croisée de deux métaphysiques. La première culmine avec l’affirmation de l’identité entre l’être et la pensée : en introduisant les Formes intelligibles dans l’Intellect divin, elle conjugue platonisme et aristotélisme. La seconde inaugure un courant qui marquera durablement l’histoire de la philosophie occidentale, à travers notamment la tradition de la théologie négative. L’ontologie grecque est ainsi menée à son achèvement en même temps qu’elle est débordée par la position d’un au-delà de l’être, l’Un, et ébranlée par l’impensable extinction de l’être que représente la matière. La pensée se trouve aux prises avec deux figures du non- être, qu’il s’agisse de ce non-être par défaut qu’est la matière, ou du non-être par suréminence propre au premier Principe. Ce livre a donc pour objet de montrer qu’il ne s’agit chez Plotin ni d’une forme supérieure d’onto-théologie, ni de la sortie de la métaphysique à laquelle aspire tout un courant de la réflexion contemporaine, mais bien d’une nouvelle et autre métaphysique qui réussit à entrelacer infini et totalité. C’est ce nœud et cette tension entre deux métaphysiques, dont chacune engage une figure différente de l’altérité, que font apparaître des analyses patientes et éclairantes des textes des Ennéades. Cet ouvrage présente donc à la fois une réinterprétation de l’œuvre de Plotin et une réflexion profonde sur des problèmes qui, de Hegel à Heidegger et de Schelling à Levinas et Derrida, continuent encore et toujours d'inquiéter la pensée.

This Festschrift honors the life and work of John D. Turner (Charles J. Mach University Professor of Classics and History at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln) on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Professor Turner’s work has been of profound importance for the study of the interaction between Greek philosophy and Gnosticism in late antiquity. This volume contains essays by international scholars on a broad range of topics that deal with Sethian, Valentinian and other early Christian thought, as well as with Platonism and Neoplatonism, and offer a variety of perspectives spanning intellectual history, Greek and Coptic philology, and the study of religions.

Philoponus' On Aristotle Categories 1-5 discusses the nature of universals, preserving the views of Philoponus' teacher Ammonius, as well as presenting a Neoplatonist interpretation of Aristotle's Categories. Philoponus treats universals as concepts in the human mind produced by abstracting a form or nature from the material individual in which it has its being. The work is important for its own philosophical discussion and for the insight it sheds on its sources. For considerable portions, On Aristotle Categories 1-5 resembles the wording of an earlier commentary which declares itself to be an anonymous record taken from the seminars of Ammonius. Unlike much of Philoponus' later writing, this commentary does not disagree with either Aristotle or Ammonius, and suggests the possibility that Philoponus either had access to this earlier record or wrote it himself. This edition explores these questions of provenance, alongside the context, meaning and implications of Philoponus' work. The English translation is accompanied by an introduction, comprehensive commentary notes, bibliography, glossary of translated terms and a subject index. The latest volume in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, the edition makes this philosophical work accessible to a modern readership. Philoponus was a Christian writing in Greek in 6th century CE Alexandria, where some students of philosophy were bilingual in Syriac as well as Greek. In this Greek treatise translated from the surviving Syriac version, Philoponus discusses the logic of parts and wholes, and he illustrates the spread of the pagan and Christian philosophy of 6th century CE Greeks to other cultures, in this case to Syria. Philoponus, an expert on Aristotle's philosophy, had turned to theology and was applying his knowledge of Aristotle to disputes over the human and divine nature of Christ. Were there two natures and were they parts of a whole, as the Emperor Justinian proposed, or was there only one nature, as Philoponus claimed with the rebel minority, both human and divine? If there were two natures, were they parts like the ingredients in a chemical mixture? Philoponus attacks the idea. Such ingredients are not parts, because they each inter-penetrate the whole mixture. Moreover, he abandons his ingenious earlier attempts to support Aristotle's view of mixture by identifying ways in which such ingredients might be thought of as potentially preserved in a chemical mixture. Instead, Philoponus says that the ingredients are destroyed, unlike the human and divine in Christ.

Although Neoplatonism has long been studied by classicists, until recently most philosophers saw the ideas of Plotinus et al as a lot of religious/magical mumbo-jumbo. Recent work however has provided a new perspective on the philosophical issues in Neoplatonism and Pauliina Remes new introduction to the subject is the first to take account of this fresh research and provides a reassessment of Neoplatonism's philosophical credentials. Covering the Neoplatonic movement from its founder, Plotinus (AD 204-70) to the closure of Plato's Academy in AD 529, Remes explores the ideas of leading Neoplatonists such as Porphyry, Iamblichus, Proclus, Simplicius and Damascius as well as less well-known thinkers. Situating their ideas alongside classical Platonism, Stoicism, and the neo-Pythagoreans as well as other intellectual movements of the time such as Gnosticism, Judaism and Christianity, Remes provides a valuable survey for the beginning student and non-specialist.

Julia Annas here offers a fundamental reexamination of Plato's ethical thought by investigating the Middle Platonist perspective, which emerged at the end of Plato's own school, the Academy. She highlights the differences between ancient and modern assumptions about Plato's ethics-and stresses the need to be more critical about our own.One of these modern assumptions is the notion that the dialogues record the development of Plato's thought. Annas shows how the Middle Platonists, by contrast, viewed the dialogues as multiple presentations of a single Platonic ethical philosophy, differing in form and purpose but ultimately coherent. They also read Plato's ethics as consistently defending the view that virtue is sufficient for happiness, and see it as converging in its main points with the ethics of the Stoics.Annas goes on to explore the Platonic idea that humankind's final end is "becoming like God"-an idea that is well known among the ancients but virtually ignored in modern interpretations. She also maintains that modern interpretations, beginning in the nineteenth century, have placed undue emphasis on the Republic, and have treated it too much as a political work, whereas the ancients rightly saw it as a continuation of Plato's ethical writings.
